I went into town today
just so I could have my say
on the things that I would buy
for the RV and the reason why
is that I needed extra sheets
in two RV’s a set to keep
so that I have a spare
just because I really care
that I do not turn into a slob
and not launder them which is my job
for after a week they need a change
as sleeping in them cannot be the same.
It is just not the bed that has me concerned
for over the years I have learned
to keep an eye what’s in the fridge
so that there is something when I get the itch
to eat a meal or maybe a snack
with the refrigerator bare things are out of whack
I search high and low for something to eat
and usually end with what’s within reach
and so, my meals are a chancy thing
depending on what my searching will bring.
Luckily for me food is not a game
and things I eat are sometimes the same
gone are the days of eating out
for a steak or chops or even a trout
now I make do with what’s in the fridge
or even a can if it’s within reach
to fill the tummy is the goal
and not savor the taste or please the soul
but to eat enough to stay alive
Whatever the taste I will survive.
